Patricia Mohn, LMHC

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Existential therapy helps people face big life questions and create meaning when they feel stuck. It often involves talking through values, choices, and what matters most in daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts without getting pulled in by them and to act in ways that match personal values, which can help with anxiety and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for panic, depression, and social anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patricia will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most helpful. Together they check progress and adjust methods so therapy fits the person's goals and preferences. Online therapy makes these approaches flexible and easier to use in everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, try brief exercises between sessions, or reach out when a quick reflection helps. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep practicing new skills between appointments.
